📄 Description

Maximum security for your home without the need for screws or drills!

This Heavy-Duty Child Safety Lock is engineered for parents who need a more robust and reliable solution than standard 3D-printed latches. With a focus on durability and ease of use, this lock ensures your cabinets and drawers stay closed to toddlers while remaining effortless for adults to operate.

Why this is the best choice for your home:

• Advanced Ergonomics: Features enlarged, textured finger pads that make releasing the lock comfortable and intuitive for adults.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Reinforced at key stress points to handle constant pulling and tugging without deforming.
• Furniture Friendly: Designed to be mounted with high-quality double-sided tape (like 3M VHB), leaving no permanent damage or holes in your furniture.
• Universal Application: Works perfectly on kitchen cabinets, bathroom drawers, wardrobes, or even appliances.

Print Settings for Safety:

• Material: PETG is recommended. It provides the necessary flexibility for the latch mechanism.
• Walls/Perimeters: Use at least 4-5 walls for maximum structural integrity.
• Orientation: Files are pre-oriented for optimal strength along the layer lines.
• Supports: No supports required on most well-tuned printers.

Installation & Usage:

1. Clean the surface with alcohol to remove grease.
2. Apply heavy-duty double-sided tape to the base.
3. Press firmly onto the cabinet and let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before use for maximum strength.
